Was at the "grocery track" in Suffolk last evening to catch the usual 5 or so trains that pass by. Set off on the "Grocery Track" was the power for the rock...
I hate to see the older power getting swapped out. I'll never forget the evening of July 6, 2005 when I chased V13 from Courtland to Emporia with 6080, 1624,...
This may not be the end of the SD40's for V13/V14. Quite often when I still lived close I would see this occur for a few nights, and then it would be back to...
You're probably right. The consist made up of that many SD60's come out to just shy of 20,000 hp. Thats a lot of ponies (and fuel) for a rock train with...
Skip, That is the track across the main from the N&W station in Downton Suffolk. NS Usually parks units there for the Suffolk switcher and the NF&D trains. I...
387 just passed Walnut Hill with what looked like three SD-60's! A blue and two blacks, couldn't make out the numbers. Walt On Dec 30, 2007, at 10:02 AM,...
Just a heads up UP seems to be releasing it's deathgrip on the Heritage units. UP1988 "Katy" was sent to Atlanta on NS #223, it's there now and hasn't been...
The grocery track is named after Nasemond Grocery (the huge brick building the track runs beside near the parking lot). This lot is located directly across...
Russ, I guess I have to readjust my fingers. Thanks for the information, I'll have to take a ride out there soon. Skip Russell Underwood <NFDRwy@...>...

Thanks Everett! Have not been back over to check on it lately, but it should look great when completed. I hope the tower will be reinstalled on the structure. ...
The Boykins depot sits about 150 ft North of the crossing in town, along a side street. Other depots along the NCVA include the one at Pendleton, NC (SAL),...
Has anyone heard anything about when the Commonwealth to CSX connection is supposed to be placed into service? Also has anyone seen the two MP15's lately? I've...
Have you checked the industrial park? The "SW1500's" were there a month ago nose to nose. The 1552 blew 3 cylinders and may have been sent out for repairs. -...
When we went over that way last we looked up and down the whole line with no sign of them including APM but not the Wilroy Park but the 444 was easily visible...
The two locomotives are in the Wilroy Industrial Park behind Golden State Foods. Until the APM Terminal gets up and running, with regards to shipping out...
The depot in Boykins originally sat east of the crossing on the south side of the tracks. Sometimes in the early 80's, I forget the year, it was sold to Hank...
It is my understanding that the connection was built on land already owned by CSX. I don't think that any additonal sidings will be built on the CSX. I...
The signal that is on the far side of the overpass over Rt 58/Rt 460 will be operated from the two boxes that are located just down from the switch at the top...
Traveled by Carolina Yard this afternoon to discover that there are at least 2 tracks that have autoracks in them. Anyone have any clues as to why they are...

Even though it was Superbowl Sunday, I decided to venture over to Fulton Yard around 2:30pm to see what I could catch and the ATCS Mon wasn't lying about the...
